You´ve never seen a game collection displayed like this

- This is my video and tour of my game collection and how it came to look like this!
It´s trendy to say Its “Underconsumption Core” is probably to stretch it. But as a gamer, movie watcher, collector and to cram that in a small game room and try to buy used, make diy projects and mainly keep to the Essentials is more and more a thing I thrive after. I know essential and collector doesnt really fit together and it can always be better and have less.. but hope you catch my drift?
It´s the same with being minimalist. I dont see myself being that, but I am going for the clean and sharp look and still having a collection and showing who I am and what I enjoy. So in better words would probably be: simplified and less is more? Dont really know what to call it, but I do know culling down the collection and curated it for my tast is the best thing I have ever done for my game room and my soul.
I hope you enjoy and please drop a comment if you have any questions or you can relate to this.. Thanky you!

Impressive! I also value quality and personal favorites over quantity, I've never understood those massive collections
Thank you! 🙏 I enjoy watching those big collections on UA-cam, but I could never live with it myself 🙃
We all collect differently and that’s the beauty of our hobby ♥️
@@MrSkovdal There is a fine line bewteen a game collector and a horader, and that's why I stop my self from start collecting, thanks for showing us how must be done.
I love the look. It always feels nice when you see a small collection mostly because it actually holds a meaning. Every game in that collection means something to you (or the ip means something to you). That's how do my game room too
Thank you do much! 🙏
One of the best collections I ever seen! Many People just fill their shelfs with tons of games they won't even ever play. This is why I prefer your collection. I like to have two collections. The first one is like yours where only the games you like are visible on a shelf. The second one is just for having a complete collection and can be stored in the basement or somewhere like that. Anyway, really nice gaming room!
Thank you so much! I appriciate it 🙏
Very nice job! Very aesthetic and clean! This is what I exactly have in mind for a gameroom. I don’t care a lot about a massive collection, just personal games and titles I enjoy playing personally and with family and friends.
Great job!!
Thank you very much! I appriciate it 🙏
Good concept, that I have similarly applied. I recently also limited myself artificially in my own office. I now choose to collect only good first party (or close to) Nintendo titles in a large bookshelf and only on that one. I buy less but only boxed, except for the NES which is too expensive boxed and look nice loose, and non players choice games. For SFC N64 and GC + GB GBC GBA, I sold my PAL copies and moved to japanese boxed games, with a lot of pleasure, they look so nice and I made a nice check back from selling my PAL collection of those. I resold most of the loose copies I had and various games I had no connections to that I only collected for the sake of collecting, which I am now against. For Wii WiiU and Switch I have stayed with PAL (French) while the prices are still resonable.
I cheated a bit by having my PS1/2/3 collection and my boxed collection of every console stored in my room at my parents house, but I do plan on doing the same thing with the SONY collection at some point once I finish Nintendo, adding just another bookshelf. I am contemplating selling most of my SEGA stuff that I accumulated over the years without any nostalgia for it as well, someone else would enjoy more than me the SEGA stuff I own.
Sounds like you've got a solid plan! It's great to see such a clear vision 😊 Organizing and even culling a collection can be incredibly satisfying!
It all takes time.. slow and steady wins the race 😉
Would love to see your collection 🤩
Gorgeous! Do you have some background in art or design? I'd be clueless as to how to approach this!
Thank you very much! No, none. I did play around with Photoshop in my younger days, nothing serious. Other than that, I'm just a landscape gardener and not even designing stuff, just doing the dirty work 😉 Maybe I'm letting all my artistic skills out in my game room.. I am really enjoying it and love to design and get everything to add up and "connect" the entire room. I often take the aesthetics into account before anything 😅
We are all different in what we want and like, but you can always DM me if you need a third-person perspective for some inspiration or ideas 👍
This looks INCREDIBLE and I love the spirit behind it. The N64 collection is BEAUTIFUL but all of the shelves look great!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Your collection and display is so clean!!! Goals for sure. Thank you for sharing. 🤘
Thank you so much! I appriciate it 🙏
I try to avoid collecting for the sake of collecting, but its very tempting. I am currently talking myself out of collecting wireless-mod retro controllers lol
I have a N64 and a SNES wireless-modded controller, but im very tempted to purchase the mod kits for a NES and Gamecube controller as well even though I rarely emulate those systems. I just think they would look cool on display, but only so much space for decorative things.
I think your display is very nice looking, not cluttered btw. I think there is a fine line of collecting vs cluttering and a lot of it is defined by how big your space is; too much stuff in a small space looks awful but so does too few things in a large space imo.
There are so many rabbit holes to avoid, so I know the feeling 😅
So the modding is done on a original controller? Actually never thought about that. Always just buy a wireless third party controller 🙈
If it’s only for the looks, check out my corner controller stand for my n64 controllers. They are with wires and original, but the stands really hide the cables good. I hate cables! but never really notes them 😊
Agree with all. Most hardware gonna die in 100 if not 50 years and the truth is that we are just collecting art in cardboard/plastic boxes for display. Mostly every game can be downloaded and played in order to not compromise the delicate hardware in it and we can just focus on things that we had or never had and enjoy.
Very nice presentation and games! I love your idea of customizing shelfes of the different sizes of games for your collection. The nice room colors, it all fits together naturally! Good job, and it sure is a lot of thinking,work and time to bring this together this nice.
Thank you so much! It as been a long process over a couple of years from the ideas in my head to planning, curling, renovation (of the room) and then the actual built of the shelf, so I really appreciate your kind words 🙏
My ideas almost match my final result, so I’m very happy with it! There are some other aspects of the game room that need some changes because the ideas didn't live up to the result, but that's for another video in the future 😅
Hello everyone 🎉
This looks awesome! I feel like Players choice and platinum games can look alright as long as they're all on their own seperate thing from the normal game cases. Like having Gamecube games, then your players choice titles right next to it still on the same shelf.
Thank you 🙏 Yeah, if they were on separate shelves, it would look good. Having them on the same shelf separately, even in alphabetical order, would mess it up for me.
Some of the Player's Choice/Platinum editions are better displayed than others. For instance, the PS1, PS3, and GameCube versions have a flat and bad color choice compared to the standard versions. On the other hand, the Wii and Wii U editions are more discreet (on the spine, at least).
Games that you want/sentimental value
This looks amazing. I had to sell my collection and downsize for my family to pay for stuff and this is makes me miss it. But this it true amazing!
Thank you so much! I appriciate it 🙏I’m sorry to hear that. Family comes first ♥️ and you can always re-buy games in the future if you really need them 😊
Wonderful collection and aesthetics!
Thank you very much! 🙏
This video is peak collectorcore. The vibes were immaculate.
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic job! I have a curated collection too although quite a few more. As yet to determine how and where to display tho. Giving me great ideas!
Thank you very much! 🙏 Happy it can spark some ideas for others 🤙
I gotta say you did a great job with this video I really love video game collecting (not only because it’s fun) but also there’s a story to them!
Sometimes it can be awesome like how I got my copy of metal slug on sega Saturn!
And other times it can be weird creepy and disturbing like how I got my copy of the salamander deluxe pack plus on the sega Saturn!
Thank you! Happy to hear that 👍
Nothing about how and where I got the games. But that’s mainly because I can remember where i got most of them 😂
But it does sounds like you have some juicy stories interlaced with tour collection 😉
@@MrSkovdal
So how I got the game metal slug on sega Saturn is very awesome!
So I usually start my day working with the trash walk where I get a bag and a shopping cart (also a broom and dust pan as well) so while I was cleaning up the cigarette bench there was a sketchy person in there he was changing his clothes (in public) so I had to let the people from lost prevention know what’s up!
And apparently this guy was stealing things (maybe clothes?) and the people from LP let me know that because I turned the sketchy guy in (after he stole things) I got $11 so I got the game metal slug!
As for how I got the game salamander
I was house sitting for my family as they went out to go see grandma and grandpa it started out fine I went and saw this weird movie called “kinds of kindness!”
And then (again I started the trash walk) where LP alerted me about some guy wearing his underwear (and nothing else)
And a few days later the family dog escaped (after I let him out in the backyard!)
Yeah it wasn’t fun at all!
All Fire! 🔥 Need to do this with my collection
Thank you! 🙏
Very elegant. Nice that you have your N64 CIB for display. I'm thinking of making some free standing shelves primarily for loose cartridge mixed with some CIB.
Thank you 🙏 Yeah the cib games on display shelves are the childhood games we played back then, so they get some extra love ♥️
I also have around 300-350 games, which is more than enough to play in a lifetime (if you have time to play at all :D ) Great video!
yeah precisely! 😊 Thank you very much 🙏
this will fill up fast for my collection since some LEs are really big
I’m drawing blanks here and answer is probably so obviously when you tell me, but what is LEs? 😅
Limited editions
It was obviously 😂 Yeah thats why I dont collect those 😉
This is giving me some ideas thanks.
No problem! Glad I could help inspire 😊
We have a very similar approach and taste in games. I like it.
Thank you 🙏
Very cool! Which box protector for N64 do you use? I need them 😭
Thank you 🙏 I bought them from a local gamestore here in Denmark, but I'm pretty sure they are just those cheap ones from eBay. Just search "box protectors N64 😉
@MrSkovdal Ok, thank youuu ❤️ Btw I don't need so much protectors. I have a medium-big collection because at start I couldn't give an identity to it. Now, by Vinted and other selling methods, I'm polishing my collection hoping to arrive at a max to 200 🙏🏻
@ it feels amazing to currate your collection, right? 😉 and it makes it so much essier to store. Throw me a picture of your collection if you fell like 🤙
Fantastic collection👍🏻
Thank you! 🙏
Nice work, great decision making here and overall philosophy.
Thank you very much! 🙏
interesting take, keeping it simple and still having a collection. i find it hard to do that or simply downsize as i'm always all or nothing type of mentality and still purging.
Yeah I’m probably a bit strange and outnumbered here 🙈
I had the same mentality in the beginning but for me it was just stressful and no finish goal in sight, so I lost track 🙃
you have doom for the sony playstation? dude that is awesome
Yeah but never actually played it on the ps 😅 always played and prefer the pc most times 😉
Good job, it's easy to do this when you collect for consoles and all games have standard size. Try building something like this for PC games where most boxes don't match one another.
Thank you! 🙏
I have a large Boardgame collection, so I know how that is, but it can still look very nice with a clean sharp look 🤙 If you dont believe me you can take a look at my room tour or Boardgame collection video 😉 (not these shelves, but homemade built-in wall shelves)
i watched this entire video with my head sideways
I hope it gave you some inspiration or insights then ☺
God I wish I have a video game collection like that
Very nice, but where did you put the PVM?
Did you catch my latest room tour video? ❤️ I don't remember mentioning the PVM in this video (but my memory often fails me 😅) it was hidden away until I could figure out how to integrate it into the game room. Hopefully, I'll have it up and running this winter 🤞Really miss the retro play setup an old CRT can bring to the game.
Clean! I like the look!
That is so cool
Thank you 🤙
Very Nice and a great set up ❤
Thank you 🙏
Very very nice!
Thank you! 🙏
Really nice collection! And great display cases.
Thank you very much! 🙏♥️
Well done... what do you do if you want to add a game?
Thanks 🙏 I sell one 😉
looks great
Thank you 🙏
nice collection and more games than you will ever need. 1 in 1 out is good and always keeps it forever changing
Thank you 🙏
Cool and aesthetic, but I personally would not like that my will to play something new that I discover and don't have yet were limited by the space of a square ranging in a wall
Thank you 🙏
Yeah I know it’s not for everybody and especially the 1 in 1 out mentality 🙈
Where will you put PS5 games?
Love the look by the way.
Thank you 🙏 Don’t own any games or consoles for ps5 or Xbox Series x. So no need yet, but I made 2 more of these shelves and dividers for 4 of them so I have some options.
1. Half down 2 collections and fit current gen in existing shelves
2. Add 2 new shelves and fit current gen (and maybe keep ps5 and Xbox in one so new Nintendo gen can have it’s own)
3. Dont add them
That's a really cool way of doing it. Unfortunately that would mean I'd be getting rid of a lot of games that I love.
Thank you! 🙏 You could always make the shelves bigger/longer, but I have a feeling that wouldn't be enough 😉
I want to do it as well, can you please explain how did you hang 'em on the wall?
I made this small video on the built (nothing crazy or deep)

This makes me not feel so bad about how poorly my collection is displayed. I have a glass door cabinet, with the top shelf dedicated to all my switch games, the shelf below is all the collectors edition packages and extras, even below that is my smaller collections( DS, 3DS, PS3/4/5) and beneath that anime DVDs. My small collection Of Neo Geo is packed away but I'm waiting on a new desk for my bedroom that is L shaped and it's going to have a portion dedicated to SNK with my 4:3 monitor and system setup at all times
We all collect differently and that’s the beauty of our hobby. Sounds like you have a good plan for your collection and setup 🤙
Youre music is way too loud compared to the narration. I have to make it really loud to be able to hear you clearly
Sorry to hear that 😢 First video with Capcut and still very new in making these videos, so Thank you for the feedback 👍
no sega games. get sega mega drive and saturn box games if you want to see what is game art.
I collect games that I want to play/have played and matters to me. I have no attachment to sega, so I'm not gonna collect for the sake of collect “art” 😉
@@MrSkovdal dont call it art then. when you making 30 games black shelfs and dark room thats not a art of games. art of games touch every system and history of games.
@@MrStrangermoon Art is a way to express ideas and feelings through a physical medium. In my case, I've created an 'art piece' by designing a storage solution for my videogame collection and the games within.
We all have different perspectives on what art is and that's perfectly fine. You may prefer the looks of Sega games, and that's your opinion. However, my setup isn't about showcasing every game system or the gaming history of the world - and if I said that, it was a misspeak. It's about displaying my collection in a way that I find visually appealing and the games I enjoy.
My art collection 😉
@@MrSkovdal your room is typcal rich man room. idea of making evey system 30 games good idea but not fit the room and if you limited 30 games this allow others systems. your black shelfs best fit black games like ps1 ones but ps1 ones jewellsace. sega mega drive and saturn eu ones big black box to fit those shelfls. like ps1 long box games.
@@MrStrangermoon Rich man room?! Please define what that is? But I will take that as a compliment!
I limit my collection because I don't need more games or systems that I don't care about! There's over 300 games on those shelves and that's still way too many games already.
Again it's your opinion on the looks of the shelves. I find that my shelves fit all systems I have and they all look good. NOT only the black PS1. And again I wouldn't add the Sega system to MY setup even if it was the most beautiful thing in the world. You know why? Because I don't care about Sega...
Its still too much!
I think the amount I have is just perfect.. Perfect for me anyways 😉 We all collect differently and that’s the beauty of our hobby ♥️
Nothing impressive about this collection. The video is a waste of time
Have s nice day 👋
